Ahhh...life. One day I'm going to look back on this time and think...Wow, you really were STRONG. Right now...I feel like I'm hanging on by my chipped up fingernails.
Over the last week...I've kind of had some weak moments. I've been doing a lot of giving to my friends...Unfortunately, I haven't been giving much to myself. The result = melt down. On more than one occasion over the last 10 days, I've cried...I love my friends...love them dearly. Never would I turn my back on someone I love who is in pain...BUT, somewhere along the line, I need a little replenishing.
Right now, I kind of feel like maybe...just maybe I'm on an upswing. One thing I've done, is tell my friends! It's not easy...telling someone that they are draining you. It has to be done. Too many of us refuse to say no, or reach out when WE need a little lifting up. I do, I need it sometimes too. The nice thing is that when I say it, when I admit it, I get something back.
I've made some decisions for myself too...Stepping back, re-grouping...starting over. Taking some steps to make things a little more enjoyable for me...a little less stressful...a little more, well, peaceful. Giving myself the much needed break I need. Truth is...the only one who's going to give it to me...is me. I deserve it, I just needed to admit it to myself.
For all the love I have for my friends...I find more and more, the loving feelings are returned.
